Client-side attacks are employed to gain access to a target computer if server-side attacks, such as exploiting vulnerabilities in the operating system or installed applications, are unsuccessful or if the target is hidden behind an IP or on a hidden network. These types of attacks require the user to perform an action, such as downloading an image, opening a link, or installing an update, which will then execute code on their machine. As user interaction is required for client-side attacks to be successful, thorough information gathering is essential. This involves gathering information about the individual’s applications, as well as their personal characteristics, such as their network, websites they use, and trusted websites. In contrast to server-side attacks that focus on exploiting applications and operating systems, client-side attacks target the person themselves.
In this scenario, the target machine will be a Windows machine, and the attacker’s machine will be a Kali machine. Both devices will utilize NAT networks to ensure that they are on the same network. As we are employing reserve connections, separate IP addresses are not necessary in this instance.
This segment will demonstrate how to employ a tool called Veil to create a backdoor that is undetectable. Furthermore, we will examine payloads and generate a backdoor that will enable client-side attacks on our system, allowing us to listen to the connections. Finally, we will learn how to execute a backdoor in real-time and review strategies to safeguard our system from such attacks.
We will cover the following topics:
Client-side attacks
- Installing Veil
- Overview of Payloads
- Generating a Veil backdoor
- Listening for connections
- Testing the backdoor
- Fake bdm1 updates
- Protecting against delivery methods
